How can optical illusions and brainteasers help me?

ENGAGING in activities like solving optical illusions and brainteasers can have many cognitive benefits as it can stimulate various brain regions.

Some benefits include:

  • Problem-solving skills: Regular practice enhances analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
  • Memory improvement: These challenges often require memory recall and can contribute to better memory function.
  • Creativity: They encourage thinking outside the box, fostering creativity and innovative thought processes.

At first, there is no chance there is a deer in the image but the harder you look the quicker it jumps out of you.

But beware this is a tricky one...

The deer is hidden deep within the photo and has been pictured at the perfect moment meaning you’re bound to run out of time and never have the satisfaction of finding it all to yourself.

In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to spot it within seconds and leave themselves enough time to enjoy the rest of the image.

If you still can’t find the deer here's a big clue.

The deer has cleverly stayed almost directly in the middle so he can scamper away in any direction.

It’s easy to spot the snow on the rocks - but you could have 20-20 vision if you find the rare leopard in 12 second
